Simple Uptime Monitoring Tool
Hello again,
Today is checkthe.website's 1st anniversary. People wanted to create and use different reports. A lot of people liked the Daily and Monthly reports. Developing is still very enjoyable for me.
Now, a minimum of 50 users visit the internet address daily.
Some people use the developer API too much so I had to block them temporarily.
I have released the first version of the mobile application, but I am still waiting due to some bugs. I will update them as soon as possible.
I added multi-language (english and turkish). I will add spanish, china and russian next month.
I changed my mail service.
Number of emails sent daily: 7400~
Average number of outgoing notifications per day 300~
24 people are enrolled in the developer program.
Total added internet address 9500~
Total number of generated reports 150k
That's it.
Good luck to you and me
thanks.
Hello again,
I opened the beta version of the mobile application. I send it to close friends and coworkers to collect feedback. There are some bugs on IOS devices. In Android, everything is perfect.
After getting a lot of feedback, I decided to change font families and sizes on the website. People didn't like the view of the mobile version.
My main difference from other Uptime monitoring services, I don't need accounts. You have to tell me which way you want to take an email from me and verify it. That's it. No Passwords. No Magic Links. No Spam Emails. Most people liked this idea. Some people need clarification. Think about it's a community version.
I already pass the 700k request per day.
23 November stats :
Sent 689.320 Request to check other services.
Sent 650 emails for the alert.
Sent 122 Desktop Notification
Sent 3200 Extension Notification
Sent 4300 Emails for daily reports.
17 Users using webhook
6 Users using Developer API
I have 3000 websites. Each website has at least one member. I am starting to check if somebody is watching. I am not a DDOS attacker.
9 Website owners contacted me. They told me, stop the check their website. I no longer collect statics for their websites.
2 People contact me for marketing stuff. I kindly refused their offers.
Eleven people are using Slack notifications.
News :
I changed the mechanism of the check on the website. If I take an unsuccess response, I send the request again. If two requests are returned unsuccess, I immediately send a message(Email, Web, Desktop, Mobile notification).
Every day, I send a daily report. Every week I send weekly reports. Each website report is equal to a new email. I collect them in one email.
There are some bugs in email templates. I changed it.
People are complaining that unsubscribe links needs to be fixed (Due to the short expired time. I increased it from 2 hours to 24 Hours.)
Status pages work perfectly. You can set a destroy date or password or only view specific users. It's up to you.
I will open the mobile application at the end of December.
Bugs and Demands :
- Slack extension needs to be fixed.
- There are some bugs in Chrome Extension.
- Some people want to generate a report for a specific time range.
- People are complaining about the design of daily-weekly-monthly PDF reports. I will change it.
- (Mac users) complaining about Desktop Application. I have to change some bugs in my code.
That's it. I will update all platforms once a month.
Good luck to you and me
thanks.
Last eight days, I have spent my time developing the mobile application. Everything is going well. I have bought developer accounts for Apple, Google Play, and Huawei. There are some glitches in testing—especially notifications hard to solve.
After the success tests, I am going to share the mobile application.
I almost enabled my product Desktop, Web, Mobile, and Browser extension.
I believe that I can handle everything by code, but I don't have enough experience in marketing. I will try to convince someone to work together on the marketing side.
By the way, I reached 100 users. (79 Web, 6 Chrome Extension, 5 Desktop App, and 10 people use by webhooks). I am sending request 145.000 requests daily and send notification between 300-700 notifications.
I will update the next steps. Now I have to focus mobile side.
good luck to you and me
